Dream Christmas Gifts

I wouldn't be surprised to see this in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog.

It's the Jelly-fish 45, a 6 person floating "house." The bottom of the 5 levels is underwater, giving you a living room with a 360° view of the sea life. Yours, for only $2.5 million.

I'm not really sure how the legalities work about parking your house, but when they start having undersea trailer parks, sign me up!

Even better than the video is the first comment, which says "I think Kim Jong Il has heard this and now wants a Third World War"

 

Undersea Art

This is one exhibit I definitely want to see!

British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor has installed his exhibit The Silent Evolution 30 feet underwater with 400 life-sized sculptures of real people.  

These sculptures will quickly be taken over by sea creatures to form an artificial reef - a message, Taylor says, "remind[s] us of our close dependency on nature and the respect we should afford it."

    I love how the batfish are always lurking, ready for a photobomb! 

He's made several other installations or sculptures in Cancún, Grenada and the UK.

Spinning like a Hamster at Work

you know you feel like this some days

This Dutch company now sells a USB spinning hamster. When you work, he runs. When you stop, he stops.

With HamsterDance music, of course!

Shooting Stars and More Gummi Christmas

I did discover that the sour gummis with sugar coating do NOT work well for gummi art. Trying to get these guys to stick is almost impossible!

But it did result in a cool outtake - a gummi shooting star!
